Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Keane Kane (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Akio Tomi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Tomi's choice of entrance music: Rising Empire. Keane Kane had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 186.2lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. The key to victory for Keane Kane has got to be keeping the fight on the feet.
